I was 11 years old when it came out in Chrismas of 1980 in Spain. I remember my parents took us (me and my brothers) to Barcelona to see it. It was another time and movies first got released in big cities and some weeks later came to small towns like mine. But as I said I convinced my parents to go to Barcelona to visit some relatives and then we could watch it. I couldnt wait some more weeks till it arrived to the local cinema in my hometown!!! It blew my mind. As an 11 comic-book geek, this was the superbattle I had been dreaming all my young life to see on screen. Later on, as an adult, I discovered the travesties done to the movie by the Salkinds, but, hey, as an 11 year-old comic-book fan, it literally blew my mind. And it still rocks, even if I had preferred that the Salkinds didnt fire Donne and put Lester at the helm.

That's cool story, E :thumb: - I went to the cinemas in the spring of '81 when it was released here in Denmark. :)

Thanks bud :) Actually feels good to be at it again!

Meanwhile I've searched the length and width of the net trying to find a decent resolution (and larger) version of this image. Can anyone help me out, please?

... and so - with a lot of cloning and adjustments, here's Superman in in-fight with General Zod!

Currently searching for Non and Ursa which will go in the character montage.... and the Fortress of Solitude for the background (something angled the same way as the building I had on Soops I, if anyone can help?)
